Boulevard Heights Neighborhood Guide

Boulevard Heights sits just southeast of Grant Park, and that proximity shapes almost everything about living here: the bungalows are affordable, the streets are quiet, and buyers who missed out on Grant Park proper often find what they were looking for just a few blocks away. The neighborhood is compact and walkable in feel, with front porches that actually get used and backyards big enough for a garden. Glenwood Avenue anchors the northern edge with bars and a few local spots that give residents a low-key social scene without requiring a car. It goes by 'BoHo' among some locals, a name that hints at both its location and its laid-back character. For first-time buyers who want a real yard, a real neighborhood, and a foothold in one of Atlanta's more desirable southside corridors, Boulevard Heights tends to deliver.
